For those who already bought Monsters Inc, another offer to get pretty good price on Up.

AmazonUp Offer

Buy Up and another disney BD and get the same USD10 off. I believe it also stacks with Monsters Inc.

So in essence 3 BDs from Disney at ~ USD16 each.

I tried to add Up and Monsters Inc and I only got total USD10 off. When I try to put the DISNEYBD code during checkout it says it cannot be applied. What am I doing wrong?
*
To get the additional USD10 u need to add another movie from my link. So all in all 3 movies, with disneybd code, u shd get total of USD20 off.

Oh thanx bro Anfieldude. I didn't have to enter the DISNEYBD code at all during checkout, it already gave me USD10 off automatically. biggrin.gif

Cool. Yeah u don't need to enter again,since u entered the last time and it failed. Now with the titles its automatic.

The competition from Walmart and Best Buy is driving Amazon prices down. Walmart and Best Buy (especially with the Gremlins/TF2 and GreenMile Exclusive) are giving Amazon a run of their money. This coming close to the holiday season will see prices of new releases coming down.

Dats right. I used to hate it but after buying from Amazon UK, it turns out the titties on cover is not so bad la... but the casing not only thicker but felt a bit fragile compared to US one... like easy to break or crack, in other words very flimsy. Luckily the price is good so everything is forgiven!!  thumbup.gif

I actually prefer the thicker cases as it seems more sturdy.

I have received quite a bit of the Viva BD cases that have chipped corners.

guy i want to know something. What are the difference between torrent bd and true bd? My friends keep torrenting and laugh at me why i need to buy true bd instead of downloading. @.@! Si beh jialat after they say like that.
*
mois,

The differences exists. Let me tell u how. On a bd torrent, assuming that it is a 1 to 1 rip, how is it being played back? Unless it is through a decoder (this can be a media player or HTPC) that can correctly decode the bits like a BD player can, there will be a difference. There are media players out there that have colour decoding errors, some with luma errors, some that cannot pass Blacker than Black (BTB) and whiter than white (WTW) (means cannot be calibrated to HD colour space accurately) and some that cannot pass 24p untouched that messes up the picture. This is all assuming that it is a 1 to 1 rip, it is a whole new issue if it was somehow downsampled.

However, a caveat, if u r watching all this on a display that is smaller than 50in and u r not the least bit fussy abt top notch PQ, then the differences do not matter to u. HD will most always be better than SD, it depends on how much it matters to you that the PQ is as the director wanted it.

I have seen many media players (HTPCs included) screw up a picture so bad, but the owner is more than happy with it, so why burst his bubble.

It is ur money, if u want to join the downloading club and u r happy with it, do what u want its ur wish. However, if u going the original BD route, then kudos to u, enjoy it any way u want.

I ordered Mongol as well .... during the recent price slash to $9.99. Mongolian with Eng subtitles ... should be interesting.

I'm not sure why the US release is lossy, though.

Finally with careful inspection, found that it was indeed a fake BD with colour of purplish, print-out photo on disc looked blurr and the cover itself not as accurate/sharp as original. Also saw some printing stated as BDR at the data surface.
The thickness of the disc was way thicker than original one, the color of the surface data also different.
***** I've been conned or maybe I was not aware of this situation.
*
At least it answers the question of why it did not play on ur BD60. The Pannys are known to cause problems with BDR discs. Others do a better job. However, I know it does not make u feel better...Sorry for u.

guys, i was reading up on Cars BD and then I saw this

http://www.zonadvd.com/imagenes/articulos/...cars/cars6.html

it's a comparison shot of the Cars DVD vs Cars Blu-Ray.

My question, why is the background different on the Blu-ray?
*
They are not the same exact frames. In the DVD the yellow car is just emerging, whereas in BD it is probably the next frame... The others look the same.

Black Friday sales items due to the Thanksgiving Holidays are sometimes delayed. Last year, they split my shipment into 2, 4 items, 1 item. The 4 items arrived in 18days. The 1 item arrived 10weeks later!

They actually ran the same titles for BOGO earlier, at that point it was 2 for about GBP12. Now they changed the offer to B2 for GBP14...

Had an unpleasant experience with Amazon lately sad.gif
Due to their so called 'customer oriented' policy
resulting an increase of the shipping cost of my orders indirectly  doh.gif

few of my packages were affected by this policy
wrote to them few times to complain on this
as well as asking for the refund of the difference
but to no avail
they just quoted hell lot of reasons to justify their action
and said they'll pass my complain to the higher level to consider
I believe in the end nothing will happen shakehead.gif

Anyway, just received this from Uncle DHL to brush away my unhappiness blush.gif

Robinlim,

Call them, it normally yields better results...

I have been having some irritating issues thru email responses as well. The next time I plan to call in and register a complaint.
